Not supported in your region (I’m in France, on iOS).

True, due to the national data laws in France we are not ready to launch there yet. Sorry.

What is this again ? You mean that you are not GDPR compliant for an app that generates random phrases ? It feels like there is something shady.

One of the most important characteristics in a partner is authenticity. If they didn't think of getting you flowers themself (and had to use an app), is that real?

I’d say yes. We are all flawed. It’s not because you are busy or because your brain is tired that you don’t love your partner. Being spontaneous requires energy. A lot of people lack energy but still loves their partner. Following the prompt isn’t mandatory, just take it as a source of inspiration for when you want to be kind but have no idea.

The point is that you have a limited amount of energy, but you chose to dedicate some of it to something your partner would like.

Optimising by reducing the amount of energy you use to do that defeats the purpose.

Yeah, it does count. I don't remember all my friend's birthdays off the top of my head. I write them in Google Calendar. It definitely gives people a better, and more appreciated, experience by having their important dates remembered via the use of technology vs being forgotten entirely.

It seems fine to extend this rationale out further.

"Not available in your region." You're saying it's because of data privacy laws. I'm in the EU, so it's not available in the whole EU? Why even is it so privacy sensitive? Do I have to share any private information to use the app?

Yeah, weird. It should be just a set of suggestions and yet it wants so much data from the users.
